Velvet Underground / "Candy Says"

I really dig this cover of the Velvet Underground's "Candy Says." it's on Martin Gore's new EP which you can now listen to over the net via QuickTime streaming... you can even put it in your iTunes playlist and listen to it as many times as you want.

Candy says...
I've come to hate my body,
and all that it requires in this world.
Candy says...
I'd like to know completely,
what others so discretely talk about.

I'm gonna watch the blue birds fly over my shoulder,
I'm gonna watch them pass me by.
Maybe when I'm older...
What do you think I'd see
If I could walk away from me?

Candy says...
I hate the quiet places,
that cause the smallest taste of what will be.
Candy says...
I hate the big decisions,
that cause endless revisions in my mind.

I'm gonna watch the blue birds fly over my shoulder,
I'm gonna watch them pass me by.
Maybe when I'm older...
What do you think I'd see
If I could walk away from me?
